Pete, I agree that the odds of needing a spare low but I personally do not want to be held up looking for tire or wheel if needed. I also have heard stories of people being charged outrageous prices for a used tire that they probably replace as soon as they get home! After buying our mh I discovered the Ford 10 lug, 6.75" wide, 19.5 wheels for 245 70 19.5 tires were almost impossible to find. The 6" wide wheels are easily found but are slightly different (offset) and shouldn't be used for 245 tires. Ford's price was about $600 with an unknown delivery time a/c back-ordered. Took me over two years to find one. Some aftermarket are now available around $200.
